Two of the top high-octane offenses in Arkansas square off in a non-conference matchup Friday.

Sheridan, located south of Little Rock, makes the trek up to Northwest Arkansas to take on Rogers.

Going into Friday’s game, Sheridan stands at 1-1. The Yellowjackets started the season with a 58-28 win against White Hall, but was on the wrong end of a 30-point score last week, falling 42-12 to Hot Springs Lakeside.

Sheridan is led by senior quarterback Dax McMellon, who has thrown for 790 yards on 54-of-104 passing with six TDs, and junior tailback Zay Stephens, who has 337 yards and three TDs on 38 carries.

Rogers enters the game at 2-0 with two convincing wins. The Mounties rolled past North Little Rock, 41-3, in the season opener and did the same last week at Muskogee, Okla., prevailing 47-6.

Senior quarterback Jeff Regan, an Air Force commit, has seven total TDs on the season, four of those on the ground. Another senior, tailback Titus Cramer, has 249 yards rushing – 155 of those in the win last week against Muskogee – while senior receiver/linebacker Braxton Lindsey, a BYU commit, has 10 catches for 171 yards and two TDs.

SECOND QUARTER

– PICK-SIX ROGERS. Mounties already hanging half-a-hundred with four minutes still left in the first half. Braxton Lindsey jumps the route and grabs the pick near the Sheridan 35 and waltzes in untouched. (Rogers, 56-27 | 4:20, 2nd)

– TOUCHDOWN ROGERS. Mounties put together yet another quick scoring drive, and once again, it’s QB Jeff Regan with the honors, taking a 19-yard keeper and diving into the end zone for the finish. (Rogers, 49-27 | 5:06, 2nd)

– TOUCHDOWN SHERIDAN. Jackets convert on another fourth-and-long as Dax McMellon launches a 58-yard deep pass, with JP Black catching it in stride. PAT is blocked. (Sheridan, 42-27 | 6:04, 2nd)

– TOUCHDOWN ROGERS. Sheridan goes for it on fourth down at its 25 and comes away empty-handed as a pass falls incomplete. Then on the next play, Jeff Regan throws a 25-yard strike to the end zone, and Parker Nix comes up with a diving grab. (Rogers, 42-21 | 7:31, 2nd)

– TOUCHDOWN ROGERS. Back come the Mounties again. One play after Jeff Regan takes a fourth-down keeper 20 yards to the Sheridan 1, Xander Burke plunges forward for that last yard. (Rogers, 35-21 | 9:20, 2nd)

– TOUCHDOWN SHERIDAN. The second quarter begins with Sheridan facing a fourth-and-long from inside its 30. Jackets go for it, and get it on a hook-and-lateral play as Zay Stephens takes the toss near midfield and breaks free for the score. PAT is good. (Rogers, 28-21 | 11:47, 2nd)

FIRST QUARTER

– TOUCHDOWN ROGERS. Mounties put together another quick scoring drive, capped by Jeff Regan’s 13-yard keeper. Still time left in the opening quarter. (Rogers, 28-14 | 1:23, 1st)

– Sheridan faces fourth-and-long near the Rogers 30. Jackets connect on a pass, but Rogers LB Braxton Lindsey smacks the receiver well short of the first down. Mounties take over.

– Rogers tries an onside kick of its own, but Sheridan comes up with the ball.

– TOUCHDOWN ROGERS. Back come the Mounties, after recovering yet another Sheridan onside kick. Score comes on a 2-yard pass from Jeff Regan, an Air Force commit, to tight end Braxton Lindsey, a BYU commit, who snags the pass in the back of the end zone. (Rogers, 21-14 | 5:48, 1st)

– TOUCHDOWN SHERIDAN. Jackets come right back with another short series, as Dax McMellon connects again with Dylan Smith from 20 yards out. Try for two fails, and we’re tied. (14-14 | 6:50, 1st)

– TOUCHDOWN ROGERS. Back come the Mounties. Sheridan onside kick attempt is recovered by the Mounties at the Jacket 49, then a few plays later, QB Jeff Regan takes a keeper 10 yards to the house. PAT is good. (Rogers, 14-8 | 8:22, 1st)

– TOUCHDOWN AND TWO-POINT CONVERSION SHERIDAN. Just like that, the Jackets take the lead on a quick drive of their own. QB Dax McMellon fires a 35-yard pass to Dylan Smith; then the Jackets go for two as McMellon fires a slant to Zay Stephens. (Sheridan, 8-7 | 9:15, 1st)

– Sheridan’s Zay Stephens catches a pass out of the backfield on third-and-long, and the Jackets have the ball at the Rogers 35.

– TOUCHDOWN ROGERS. Mounties need just two plays to score on the short field. Jeff Regan throws a 34-yard strike to Dracen Voak; then on the next play, Voak takes a reverse and goes 15 yards down the sideline for the score. (Rogers, 7-0 | 11:29, 1st)

– Sheridan tries an onside kick to start the game but it doesn’t go 10 yards. A Rogers player makes the recovery anyway, and the Mounties will start at the Sheridan 49.
